IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide Printer Messages and Problems
Problem 1: Fatal error in print queue; incorrect Busy / Timeout
The print queue stops with a fatal error which requires operator intervention or the printer stays BUSY even
when no IPDS jobs are printing.
Solution to Problem 1
The host still has control of the printer.
You need to adjust the Adapter for SCS timeout, the Network Job Timeout on the printer, the printer IPDS
Timeout value, the host port value, or the appropriate timer/timeout value on your IPDS host.
You may have to adjust a combination of these to solve the problem.
Adapter for SCS timeout
Refer to the appropriate section in this guide for information on changing the timeout value.

IPDS Timeout = Host Controlled
(when using Standard Network port or MarkNet internal LAN print server)
Note: The printer defaults to Host Controlled when receiving IPDS jobs on port 9100.
If you selected any other IPDS Timeout value go to IPDS Timeout = 15 seconds to 10 minutes below (page
56
).
If you selected the IPDS Timeout value of Host Controlled in order to allow the host to directly control ending
(disconnecting) a LAN session, follow the steps below to correct the problem.
1 Disable the printer’s Network Job Timeout by setting it to 0. For instructions on how to do this, see the
"Configure the Printer’s Network Job Timeout" step in the chapter in this guide that describes your host
environment.
2 Change the host port setting to 9100, 5001, or 9600. See
“Printer and Host Timeout Values” [page 50]
for
valid values. Additional information on the IPDS Timeout and port settings may be found in the IPDS
Emulation User’s Guide.
3 After changing the host port settings, correct the appropriate host timer/timeout value as shown below.
